This begins top of $50,000 that the social networks giant’s staff members, including upper administration, “contributed” to the New York Democrat.
According to Glassdoor.com, Alison Schumer, the senator’s youngest of 2 daughters, earns an estimated $160,000 every year as a Facebook item advertising and marketing manager.
Susan Del Percio, a political planner, informed the Post:
“It sure looks hinky. This is an industry that’s been trying for years to fend off hefty federal government policy by proactively cultivating connections with legislators and Home participants.”
It appears that Facebook spent its money carefully. Schumer has actually come to be maybe Facebook’s greatest legislative ally each time when Republicans in Congress are investigating methods to curb the company’s policy of censoring conservative sights.

With any luck, the revelations by the Post will certainly neuter Schumer’s impact and also pressure congress to take action.
If they don’t, it’s likely that Head of state Trump will.
